Even in winter, Borkum is surrounded by a special magic. Discover new running territory. The island is also a place of rest, relaxation and wonderful natural spectacles. A short morning run along the surf is a relaxing way to start the day. The background noise, the fresh breeze lets you take a deep breath and relax.
